Dalesman Buckets & blocks At W.E. Jameson we supply a full range of buckets and blocks for feeding to cattle and sheep. Some are suitable for only feeding to cattle and some can be used for both. We have specific products for dry cows and to improve fertility in both cattle and sheep. Our garlic grazer buckets help to prevent fly problems and the tri-mag buckets prevent grass staggers in spring and autumn. Intensively fed cattle will benefit from being offered our salt licks as they cause cattle to salivate more which buffers the rumen.

Dalesman Dry cow plus buckets (cattle only) These buckets are suitable for feeding to dry suckler and dairy cows. Calcium level is kept low to avoid milk fever issues, with magnesium at a good level in three different forms. Copper is provided in five different forms to prevent deficiencies here. Iodine is supplied at a high level so that calves born are strong and viable. Selenium, zinc & vitamin E are included as this is needed for the immune system to help prevent disease and retained cleansings after calving. Cobalt and manganese is needed for good growth of the calf. Cobalt also has a role in vitamin B 12 supply. Vitamin A and D 3 are needed for growth and vitamin A is essential for eye function.

Dalesman Cattle & sheep buckets These buckets can be fed to both cattle and sheep as there is no added copper. Features of these buckets include calcium supplied at good levels to support bone growth and development. Phosphorus is required to promote fertility and is included at high levels. Phosphorus, magnesium and cobalt are involved in appetite and growth; these are provided in these buckets. Cattle and sheep with sodium deficiency will show a salt craving and sheep will continually bleat if they are deficient, sodium is supplied in these buckets. Iodine is included at a good level to support calf development and zinc & selenium are added to help the immune system. Palatability will be good with these buckets as sugar content is high. A and D 3 are at good levels and are needed for eye function and growth respectively.

Dalesman Tri-mag buckets Along with general vitamin and mineral supplementation, Tri-mag is particularly high in magnesium, which comes from three highly available sources. Magnesium supplementation will reduce the risk of grass staggers in spring and autumn. Sugar levels are high to promote palatability and ensure good intakes at grass.

Dalesman Cattle fertility plus buckets (cattle only) These buckets contain a good supply of all vitamins and minerals, with additional supplementation of minerals that are known to affect fertility. Phosphorus deficiency is associated with infertility, which is expressed as irregular oestrus, silent heat and delayed conception; additional phosphorus is included in these buckets. Copper deficiency is shown through delayed oestrus, abortion and poor semen quality. Dalesman Cattle fertility plus buckets contain five different sources of copper. Levels of iodine are good which will help to prevent early embryonic death and abortions. Zinc and manganese are needed for reproductive function and zinc can also help with foot problems, this mineral is at a good level. Selenium is included at high levels, with some in a protected form. Deficiency of selenium is implicated in oestrus, ovulation and embryo fertilization. Dalesman Cattle fertility plus buckets also contain omega-3 fatty acids which can promote oestrus behavior and follicle development especially during the winter months.

Dalesman Feet & fertility plus buckets These buckets contain a good supply of all vitamins and minerals, with additional supplementation of vitamins and minerals that are known to affect fertility and lameness. Phosphorus deficiency is associated with infertility, which is expressed as irregular oestrus, silent heat and delayed conception; additional phosphorus is included in these buckets. Sodium deficiency can lead to reduced reproductive efficiency through poor fertility in males; these buckets are supplemented with sodium. Reduced oestrus, increased still births and neonatal mortalities are associated with cobalt which is also included. Zinc and selenium are included in both protected and unprotected forms. These minerals along with vitamin E are needed for a healthy immune system; also zinc is needed for strong hooves. Dalesman Feet & fertility plus buckets also contain omega-3 fatty acids which can promote oestrus behavior and follicle development especially during the winter months. Sulphur is included at a good level. Sulphur is needed for sulphur amino acids for the requirements of protein synthesis.

Disclaimer Rations should be carefully balanced in terms of nutrient content. They should contain sufficient forage to maintain rumen function and be fortified with an appropriate vitamin and mineral supplement on farms where this is needed. Animals must have constant access to clean water. Suggested feeding rates are produced as a guide only and many other factors may have an overriding effect on animal response; no performance guarantee can be given.
